Fixing a non carbonated beer

[Ian_Newson]

Hi all, I recently brewed a Czech pilsner which just hasn't carbonated at all, even after two weeks in the warm. Is there any way I can fix it?

I saved the yeast so I'm thinking of emptying the bottles into an fv, adding some yeast and bottling and leaving to carbonate again. Does this sound like an OK plan?

By the way my previous brew also didn't carbonate.

What are you using to prime the bottles, and how much?

Brewing sugar from Wilkinson's. About 180 grams for 20 litres or so.

Have a gander at this mate.

Thanks! That helps.

After reading that page I ended up opening each bottle and adding a few ml of liquid yeast to each, which appears to have fixed it. It's tasty too! I reckon I originally left it too long in secondary to clear, and too much yeast dropped out.

Thanks again.
